Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

I genuinely feel bad for Eliezer Yudkowsky and his partner over the very real terror they seem to feel about AI killing us all - but these are not well people and they need therapy, not insanely influential advisory roles at the top of government and industry. time.com/6266923/ai-e...

On March 16, my partner sent me this email. (She later gave me permission to excerpt it here.)
"Nina lost a tooth! In the usual way that children do, not out of carelessness! Seeing GPT4 blow away those standardized tests on the same day that Nina hit a childhood milestone brought an emotional surge that swept me off my feet for a minute. It's all going too fast. I worry that sharing this will heighten your own grief, but I'd rather be known to you than for each of us to suffer aloneỊạ
When the insider conversation is about the grief of seeing your daughter lose her first tooth, and thinking she's not going to get a chance to grow up, I believe we are past the point of playing political chess about a six-month moratorium.

calling this "misalignment" instead of "negligence" is an accountability dodge. we already have laws about cyber crimes and there's no scale of ML model you can incorporate into your code that makes you not responsible for running it

In a statement, an OpenAI spokesperson said the company was "conducting an extensive review of misaligned model activity" during training, and notifying third parties when there was a potential impact on their systems.

"During this review, we identified activity involving several Australian government websites and services as our models attempted to look up answers, and available statistics for questions about Australia during an internal evaluation," they said.

"In the course of that, our models took actions we did not intend.

Registering my prediction that decades of rationalist AI discourse will not simply Scale Up nymag.com/intelligence...

AI-world rationalists are nothing if not concerned about rhetoric, of course, and have been practicing for many years on one another. Over the weekend, Dario Amodei, Anthropics CEO and co-founder, made an additional appeal for "pacing" AI progress, promising to embed third-party evaluators in his company with
"employee-like" access, calling once again for
"democratic countries" to "coordinate to establish common safety standards," and advising the United States and other democratic governments to "attempt to coordinate with authoritarian governments, to the extent this is possible." Altman and Musk — alongside numerous company employees and outside Al-safety advocates — offered their support for Amodei's post on X in an unusual moment of consensus within the commercially competitive, ideologically disunited, but nonetheless insular world of AI. But they, and we, shouldn't assume that if worries about catastrophic artificial-intelligence tail risks become a fixture in our politics, we'll simply see long-running intra-AI debates about safety, acceleration, and alignment blown up to the scale of the electorate. Instead of a rationalist discourse writ large, we may expect something polarized to new and distinct extremes with unpredictable input from a wide range of people who don't share, for example, the premise that the creation of dangerously powerful runaway Al is inevitable, much less necessary or perhaps even possible — a different sort of fast-moving scenario, more familiar and human, over which Al insiders' sense of control will be brief or illusory.

In the data-center backlash, we have early evidence of the intense and not entirely coherent energies that can result from people being told something is inevitable.
And while there's a scramble among various politicians to draft state and federal AI bills around technical approaches such as model training, testing; deployment, and export, the only political rhetoric that has confronted AI predictions in their fullness — as existential risks, as producing conscious beings deserving of status, as systems that could upend the world as we know it - has been, to use one of the great euphemisms of our time, fairly populist. On the left, Bernie Sanders is interviewing doomers and took the Hugging Face incident and the industry's own rhetoric as a chance to offer a simple response: Okay, then, fucking stop!
